Policies and Guidelines

Coverage Policies

Coverage policies are developed to communicate Medica decisions about coverage and benefits for various medical services. Each coverage policy contains a description of the medical service, as well as the coverage determination, product application, coding considerations and requirements for prior authorization.

Both the coverage policy and utilization management policy sections should be checked to determine coverage for a particular service.
